SCALE‐UP Classrooms (Flat Floor), known internationally as SCALE‐UP, describes 9‐person teams at seven foot diameter tables that allow larger discussion groups or teams of 3 students working together at user‐provided laptops. Purdue’s tables are comprised of (3) 120⁰ tables ganged around a technology hub or left loose for reconfiguration.
